Pain After New Dental Bridge06/28/2010 |
Hi,I had a bridge fitted 25 years age to replace a missing lower front tooth. I never had a moments trouble with it.
Through my dentist, I have recently whitened my teeth and as a result decided to have the bridge replaced (it was looking yellow!). I had the new bridge fitted a couple of days ago and it looks fabulous. The only problem is that I am getting a sharp pain in the teeth forming the bridge when I bite down. Is this something that should settle down or could it be a sign of a problem with the teeth?
Many thanks.
It sounds like you need to see your dentist and have the bite checked.
